    Leupold SX-2 Alpine HD 20-60x60 Reviews?

    I tried the SX2 60mm a couple weeks ago on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised that it came to sharp focus at 60x which was unexpected. Especially for a $300 scope. Like Rivi above, I wondered if I just tried a really good sample. I was not able to perform any formal tests, but have a few...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    I'm curious about some of the new materials like sailcloth.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Awesome Carl, thanks for the post. I remember you and Formi replying to some of my questions back then, at another site. I think 2013 to 2015. Holy crap, time flies!

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Man, if it works for you then rock on. It hurts my brain and eyes. Not sure how to explain it, but I find the donut a distraction and not a benefit. Same with horseshoes. The G2/G3 is another that I just don't like to use and the G4 seems even worse. I think because my eye and brain are...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Direct impact to the EP? Or more distributed as well? When I first got started, I recall Carl R. posting that he'd broken things and that nothing would hold zero. But I don't recall the details other than bonding rails or switching to actions with integrated rail. Sounds like it was severe...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    Q3/Q4 of 2024, I believe. Seemed like just a knee jerk reaction, without much information, as TT posted theirs of couple days prior. TT posted that there could be single wall and double wall versions, and maybe a true 4 season. Similar weight as the Stratospire, which would be awesome if...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    DJ, those are straight uprights, correct? I was referring to regular flexible poles - "TT and Durston both hinted at new models of their trekking pole designs using regular tent poles."

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    Hey thanks for posting your follow up to your OP. I find it super helpful when people do that! If I don't have a trekking pole, I can generally find a stick. Sometimes I will cut one. I do prefer proper poles packing in and out though. But while hunting, I like chucking sticks when done! I...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Awesome. Thanks for the pictures. What surface are you going to be dropping on, if you don't mind me asking? The reason I ask is because the last report mentioned soft ground. And the other appeared to be open cell foam. Looked like a bit of trampoline effect too, with concave portions taking...

    Kowa Big Eyes Setup

    Thanks for the offer. You'll be the first to know if I decide to sell. Feel free to bug me in the future, as I have various optics coming and going and lose track of others.

    Kowa Big Eyes Setup

    Man, I completely understand where you are coming from. Everyone has a different use/need. I got the 20x with a used scope and originally planned to sell it right away. Then I started to use it, and found it REALLY nice. Reminds me of the 16x on the ED50. Super nice, if that magnification...

    Wicking grade Loctite

    For the record, I don't sweat the use of blue low strength on things like bases. But I generally don't use any thread locker on caps. Except for one brand of ringmount! If people have a method that works for them, I'm cool with that. The blanket statements of thread locker not affecting...

    Wicking grade Loctite

    I have used green penetrating a few times where I swear it was harder to remove than any red semi-permanent. Maybe it got into the nooks a little better.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I think that some here are just super excited to see this Maven "pass". So a lot of interest in dropping other people's scopes and rifles! And as far as I know, there are no reports indicating that this Maven is good. Or not good. Just some vague statements that Maven has done some drops or...
